I saw this video on Polka Dot Bride and thought it was worth posting for my readers. I think it's a great idea!

I do my best thinking half asleep
In the wee hours this morning (okay fine, it was 7:30) I had a brilliant idea to temporarily solve the problem of Athena's "excitement" over Callie. Before I divulge, let me fill you in on what I've done so far.
If Athena is roaming the house, Callie is in the laundry room. If Athena is inside the bedroom or outside, Callie gets to roam the house. I have held Callie in front of Athena and let Athena sniff her, but that's as far as I've gotten. I don't trust the look in Athena's eye quite yet.
So my brilliant idea: get Athena a muzzle. That way she won't be able to get her mouth around her but still get close to her to smell and get used to her. Hopefully this muzzle idea helps...I want to live in a peaceful household again.

Oh happy day!
Some of you may be bored by this post and I apologize beforehand.
Several years ago a sweet old Chinese man that was a client at the vet hospital where I worked gave me two plants in nice asian themed pots. I'm not sure if the pots are actually from China but I know they have authentic chinese characters on them. He told me what each one meant, but I've since forgotten.
One of the plants is a 'goldfish plant' named for its goldfish-like blooms. Since I've had it, it's bloomed once. I have, however, successfully rooted a cutting and planted it, so maybe I can get some blooms from the transplant.
I have never been sure what the other plant is because he didn't know what it is. He did, however, give me pictures of when his had bloomed. Have mine bloomed? Nope. All I could think to do is search 'white blooms'. Until now!
I had some bio friends over the other night for a movie night and one of my friends casually said, "I didn't know you had a night blooming cereus! I have one too!" A what? You have a what? Wait, this is a night blooming cereus?! Finally! I know what it is!
Apparently it's also commonly called 'queen of the night' and as its name implies, only blooms at night. Unfortunately, each bloom only lasts for that one night.
Now that I know what it is, I hope I can get it to bloom.

A funny to brighten your day...
I received this link from a friend via email and I was just going to post the youtube video here, but I think the video needs a little more explanation. Check it out!
